In 1950, Sapporo Medical University became the first medical university to be opened in Japan under the new educational system established after WWII. In 2020, we celebrated our 70th anniversary (75 years since our founding).
Thus far, our School of Medicine has produced about 6,000 graduates, and our School of Health Sciences about 2,400. These people have gone on to play great active roles in fields such as medicine, public health administration, and education—not only across Hokkaido, but throughout Japan and around the world.
Upholding the three basic philosophies of “educating medical personnel with strong character,” “contributing to local medical services” and “promoting international activities and leading-edge research,” we engage in education, research, and medical care activities such the ones I will now describe.

I am very satisfied for the service of semi. I can’t think to visit doctor without the help of semi. I am very grateful to semi. I will request semi to continue their service because it is really helpful for non-Japanese.

We are the ones to be truly thankful. We always feel supported by the fantastic SEMI interpreters.
I can’t imagine doing ‘this’ alone without their support. This is a wonderful service, and I hope it continues to grow stronger!
